Green Road Reserve Land

Rodney District Council intends to prepare a Reserve Management Plan for land at Green Road, Dairy Flat.


About Green Road Reserve Land

It is anticipated that Green Road could be appropriate for regional and national sporting facilities (relevant to Rodney communities) as well as local facilities, and will have a significant component of informal recreational areas.

  • The Green Road property is a significant reserve land holding in Southern Rodney District located in a predominantly lifestyle farming area.
     
  • Approximately 154 hectares located on Green Road, Dairy Flat.
     
  • It is expected that there will be a mix of passive and active recreational activities provided for on this site.
     
  • The site is a mixture of flat and sloping land with vegetated stream corridors and pasture land.
     
  • Four development principles have been established for this site:
  1. The principle objective for the property is to establish a sports park and reserve for a range of active and passive recreational pursuits open to a range of users both organised and casual.
     
  2. The overall management responsibility will remain with Rodney District Council as a single management entity not withstanding the fact that leases and licences may be entered into with individual user groups.
     
  3. To the extent that is reasonably and practicably possible the existing wetlands, water features and native vegetation will be retained and enhanced as habitat for native birds and other indigenous wildlife.
     
  4. To the extent that is reasonably and practicably possible any built works will be designed in a visually coherent manner respectful of the environment and landscape context.
